Yep

Excellent CS i bought 90 days worth and after using them for over a month i spotted one or two had defects. Emailed the CS and they replied the next day saying not to use them anymore and that they would replace the full 90 days worth :j

very happy with the second batch and have had no more problems

Do you have to send a copy of your prescription to order?

I've had a sight test and contact lens prescription, but the opticians only gave me a note with the specs on, nothing official. Apparently I have to pay £50 to get an "Official" prescription - they say that is the true non-promotional price of the assesment.

THEY are trying to get them banned , apparently they are solid and stick to the eye and can cause damage , the better make ones (other makes ) have a perforated lens allowing the eye to breath , apparently ,
my daughter used them and long term were causing problems , optition said it was a very common complaint with these lenses ,
She now uses specsavers ones and are cheap and good value !

I've been using these for well over a year now and have nothing but praise. They are the same spec as the previous Bausch and Lomb lenses I used but if anything are more comfortable. With respect andybk, I'm not convinced your daughter's optician has given the full story there as these lenses are supposed to be exactly the same as branded ones. It is just that Ron Hamilton the inventor of daily lenses got sick of seeing the big companies ripping off the consumers and decided to sell them direct once he was no longer restricted by contract, so he started daysoft.

Wouldn't have been the specsavers optician that said daysoft lenses were no good would it? :rotfl:Seriously, I would be interested to see any articles etc that you could link to - if there is any problem with them other than sour grapes from the companies he is undercutting, I'd like to know.

My D&A optician of many years said that the daysoft lenses I'm using are fine (I haven't bought lenses direct from D&A for several years now as I changed to buying them cheaper online - so no conflict of interest there) as my eyes were in perfect health when checked recently.

By the way, there is a dedicated thread here about buying CLs online, daysoft has been discussed at length. Martin also endorses them by giving them a mention in his CL article here.

Daysoft have got a special £4.99 offer on during February too, so worth giving them a try at present.

That will suffice. You only have to tick box to confirm that you have a valid prescription and provide the details of your optician so they can verify with them direct if they need to. My optician only ever gives me a handwritten letter with my details but I've never had to send it to any company I've ordered CLs from.

I have used them for 2 years now and have nothing but praise for them. You don't need to send your prescription in, and the delivery times are marvelous.
